Songs You Wish Iron Maiden Had Made

Just play the E C G D progression while singing lines from the novel and you'll have a pretty good idea of how that would go.

That song would be on AMLOAD then...

Question: does this include things one would have / would like them to write about? Cuz if so, a chapter-by-chapter musical adaptation of Moby Dick wouldn't be amiss.

Spoiler

I mean wot

That's a different angle and I like that.

As strange as it sounds on paper but today while I was listening to "Guilty All The Same" by Linkin Park, I thought the chord progression just got that AMOLAD/Senjutsu energy in it. A good song and I remember it being on heavy rotation in the radio when it was released. The lyrics may not be completely Maiden-esque but the rap parts can be replaced by guitar solo(s) (it has a nice riff going on underneath). Would have loved Maiden's take on it.

Judas Priest - Painkiller

 

[Helmuth Von Moltke]

Realistically...

Tears of the Dragon (on Fear of the Dark)
Son of a Gun (on No Prayer...)
The Lion by ASAP (on No Prayer...)
Born as a Stranger (on VX11)
The Brave (on VX11)

Lots of good songwriting by Maiden members elsewhere that could have strengthened the 90s albums

Some solo songs of Bruce for sure. Tears Of The Dragon, Road To Hell, Power Of The Sun. Or some of Blaze's songs from his debut solo album for his albums with the band.

As for others: AD's City Of Golden Gates and Bloodbound's Nosferatu.

Saxon - Hell, Fire And Damnation

Road To Hell is basically a Wicker Man prototype.
